What Can Go Wrong Here?

Don't take sides. Let them fight:

A senior Liberal staffer who serves as the communications advisor for Trudeau Minister Navdeep Bains has called for the RCMP to be abolished on social media. 

Mollie Anderson also said that the RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki should be fired for failing to say that the institution is systemically racist. 

"Brenda Lucki should be dismissed immediately, and the RCMP should be abolished," wrote Anderson in an Instagram comment.


Also:
Police unions have “frequently been a huge problem” in protecting bad officers, says the Liberal chair of the Commons public safety committee. The RCMP Commissioner told a hearing on police abuses she “won’t appreciate getting thrown under the bus” by union members.

Again, let them fight.


And:

Public Safety Minister Bill Blair says the Liberal government will work on a law to ensure First Nations have the policing services they need and deserve — but questions are being raised about why this work has seemingly just started.

Blair told the House of Commons public safety committee Tuesday night he has recently begun contacting Indigenous leaders across the country to figure out how to best transform policing in their communities.

The Liberals promised to take action on First Nations policing over six months ago, first in the mandate letter Prime Minister Justin Trudeau issued to Blair in December and again in response to Indigenous protests against the Coastal GasLink project in northern B.C.

Being rewarded for breaking the law.

What can go wrong here?
